Jelly Roll Plans To Donate Grammy To Nashville Juvenile Detention Center Where He Was Once Held

Jelly Roll will donate one of his three Grammy Awards to the Davidson County Juvenile Detention Center in Nashville, where he spent several of his teenage years. His wife Bunnie XO revealed the plan after the ceremony by saying “I know he’s going to give one to the Juvenile in Nashville to kind of give them a little inspiration and let them have a Grammy to themselves.” Jelly Roll won Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken, Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “Amen” with Shaboozey, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for “Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Brandon Lake. The singer celebrated his 14th, 15th, and 16th birthdays in juvenile detention before being charged as an adult. During his acceptance speech, Jelly recalled “There was a moment in my life where all I had was a Bible this big and a radio the same size in a six-by-eight-foot cell. I believed that those two things could change my life.”
